Originality is the key to being memorable. HAPPY NEW YEAR 2017! I posted this photo on Instagram and the caption was so long that I decided it’s better off as a blog post. For New Year’s I took a roadtrip to Calaguas, a remote island in the Philippines, where I went on a complete digi...

What if I fall? The problem with thinking you are the absolute best is that it leaves no room for you to become any better, and while you live life thinking that you’re the best, truth is people around you are already better and becoming even more better.

I’m back on a roll! Just did these foam roller exercises yesterday after a chill weekend in Boracay (chill meaning I skipped the gym, although running on the beach and SUP kept me active! ) and man…. is my body sore today. And I mean that good muscle-soreness where I know I’ve challen...

There’s nothing like training outdoors in perfect weather. Building strength and improving stamina with calisthenics. Nica Sandra demonstrates how to do a proper pull-up with the help of resistance bands while we work up a sweat combining plyometrics and dynamic movements.

Some of my favorite exercises from last week's training: Samurai swing x Lateral punches x Lat pullover. The first move got me feeling like a samurai, if only those dumbbells were actual swords… #MyBeautifulActiveLife #adidaswomen #fayfitnesscoach A video posted by Fay Hokulani (@fayh...

Working the core and buns with my version of this exercise: Donkey Kick Cross. You'll need a bit of flexibility to pull this off, which I'm sure you yogis won't have a problem with. It's important to keep your foot flexed with every rep for better control. I recommend warming up with ...

There are going to be many times when you feel like you’ve got nothing left in the tank. No more energy to move, no more strength to push out, no more breath left in your lungs. When you reach this point, you have two choices. No one but yourself will tell you if you can or can't get ...

Scorpion pushup to grasshopper pushup. This pushup variation is great for building upper body strength while exercising your core muscles including the internal and external obliques and transverse abdominal muscles. Hell hath no fury like a Scorpion scorned… Try this exercise and let...
